Jean-François Arvis is a Senior Transport Economist with the World Bank Group Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice, where he is in charge of the knowledge activities in the area of trade logistics. Prior to joining the Bank, he worked in various positions with the French Ministry of Economy and Industry (regulation, trade, finance and development aid). He is a graduate from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and École Nationale Supérieure des Mines, and holds doctorate degrees in physics.
He has an extensive record of peer-reviewed academic publications, including Logistics and Freight Services: Policies to Facilitate Trade, Measuring Exposure and Vulnerability to International Trade Shocks, A Metric of Global Maritime Supply Chain Disruptions: The Global Supply Chain Stress Index (GSCSI), among many others. However, his most prominent and internationally recognized contribution is the development of the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), which has been published by the World Bank on a biennial basis since 2007.
The Logistics Performance Index used to be based exclusively on perception ratings from a global survey of logistics professionals. In 2023, it was augmented with key performance indicators derived from massive global international shipment tracking data (data on container shipping, air cargo, and postal logistics). The new set of indicators measure the speed and connectivity of international supply chains. This paper presents the data sources, rationale, and production of the indicators. It does not discuss the findings from the new indicators, nor does it introduce additional empirical work. The paper complements the 2023 issue of Connecting to Compete, the companion report to the Logistics Performance Index.
